Recommendations for choosing a household fan

Types of fans

In order to choose the right room fan, you need to understand the types of devices. So, these household electrical appliances for the home can be as follows:

• tabletop;
• floor;
• channel;
• ceiling;
• wall mounted.

Fans can also differ in design (for the house, axial and tangential models are most often chosen, for production - radial (centrifugal) devices), according to the method of fixing and levels of protection. However, for the selection of indoor devices, these technical characteristics have practically no meaning, so we will not dwell on them in detail.
If you want to choose a fan for a living room in a house or apartment, you should purchase a floor, table or ceiling option. Table and ceiling models are only axial, and floor products can still be tangential. The latter are made in the form of a column and have many useful functions:

• humidifier;
• thermal sensor;
• Remote Control;
• air heating in the room.

Please note that if you decide to choose a floor tangential device, its price will be higher than that of other varieties. In addition to additional functions and parameters, the column fan looks stylish and is one of the safest options for the home.

Floor-mounted axial fans have been clear sales leaders among other varieties for many years and are a classic example of a room cooling device. Large blades that provide strong airflow, the ability to switch speeds, stability and the presence of a rotary mechanism - all this guarantees the stability of the choice of this product and positive customer reviews about it. If you decide to choose this standard model, pay attention to the fact that the blades must be completely covered with a mesh for safety (especially if you have children or animals).

Intend to choose a powerful but quiet fan? Ceiling models will be very welcome! While standard products have a power of about 50 watts, the ceiling version has a power of up to 250 watts. The blades of the appliance do not spin quickly, but thanks to the high power, you will always feel pleasant coolness on hot days. Such a product is especially popular for placing above a dining table or bed. Ceiling fixtures are also often bought for a terrace or summer kitchen in a country house.
As for the desktop models, everything is extremely clear here.The main advantage because of which you can choose a desktop fan is its small size, ease of use and cheap price. It is convenient to take this product with you on trips, and it will perfectly help out on a particularly hot day. Keep in mind that such fans have poor airflow and they break down quite often.

If for a living room you should choose a conventional household appliance, then for the kitchen, bathroom and toilet you need to buy a special exhaust fan, which is installed in the ventilation hole in the wall. It does not perform such functions as a standard device and is purchased to remove moist air after bathing, unpleasant odors after cooking, etc. If possible, make your choice on devices with temperature and humidity control, carefully consider all the nuances of installation.

Specifications

So, we figured out what fans exist and how to choose them, based on the varieties. It is also very important to choose a device according to general parameters and the presence of additional functions.

1. Power. As mentioned above, the power of a conventional fan does not exceed 60 watts and this is enough to blow the room. If you want a more powerful option, we recommend choosing a ceiling product.
2. Noise level. If you want to choose a model for a bedroom or a children's room, the noise level should not exceed 25 dB, for other rooms - no more than 30 dB.
3. The size. The larger the size of the blades, the faster the room will cool.
4. Protection. In any fan, except for the ceiling, there must be a special mesh that covers the blades. Children or animals can be seriously injured due to curiosity and the desire to touch rotating elements, so this protection should be mandatory.
5. Speed ​​shifter. Even in the most ordinary classic models there should be a gear shift button, be sure to opt for such a product.
6. Sustainability. A good floor fan should be reasonably stable with adjustable rotation, tilt and height.

• backlight;
• timer;
• Motion Sensor;
• air ionization;
• remote control;
• LCD;
• overheating protection.
